Drs at 11.50Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last0 -
Before I came to work this morning I did some washing and hung it up, had a quick tidy in the living room (Didn't need much after yesterday!) and took out the binbags.
I also wiped the front of the kitchen units while my toast was toasting this morning :A Hopefully Mr Fresian will wipe down the surfaces/sweep the floor while I'm at work and then I can clean the cooker (oh the joy!) when I get home.
Have a lovely day of flying peeps!0 -

Ok so i have so far managed to lie in until 9.40!! This is practically unheard of in this house so feels good! Think my DD2 has chicken pox as has some suspicious spots on her bottom(?!) and face that do look just like them so we'll see as the day progresses! I've had an appointment at my bank and been to shop and that is literally it so must get a move on as the place is a TIP!! Its raining which is annoying me as have a load of stuff to take to the dump. Still going to do it but wait for my mum to get here so don't have to pile kids in car!! Haven't even done the ironing so will have to make start on that this afternoon! Anyway i'm going to do an HHC at 12 if anyone fancys joining me?
